The next destination in our series of eco-tours designed by Battlefield Travel is Peru.

Peru has some of the most spectacular and varied scenery in South America.

Peru, the “Kingdom of the Sun“, encapsulates the essence of South America, the “New World“, in geography as well as in the mix of native Indian and European cultures. Join us for an adventure to a country of ancient cultures, where the traditional way of life of the Indians still has validity; a country of great scenic contrasts, and perhaps the greatest treasure of the Americas, the ‘lost city’ Machu Picchu.
